Romance – September 10

“Tell me what it is you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? When it’s over, I want to say: all my life I was a bride, married to amazement. I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms. Instructions for living a life: pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it.”

– Mary Oliver, born this date in 1935.

Writing prompt: Write a scene in which your protagonist must make an explicit decision to abandon something that’s desirable to have every day so s/he might achieve an unlikely eventuality.
